| 7301 | There may also have been an Asa Bates, Jr., b.c.1795, in this family. The 1850 Federal Census shows an Asa Bates, age 55, living in Smithfield, RI, with wife Marietta, age 54. | Bates, Asa (I06314)
|
| 7302 | There may be confusion over whether there is just one Abby in this family. The 1850 Federal Census has Abby 18 (c1832) where "Albert" should be in the birth order. | Remington, Albert (I09121)
|
| 7303 | There may have been an earlier daughter named Sarah Hubbard born 1716 at Dorchester; no specific date given. | Hubbard, Sarah (I28666)
|
| 7304 | There may have been another Hannah Hull born around this time -- needs more research. I am making an assumption that this is the one who married Holder Slocumb. | Hull, Hannah (I11168)
|
| 7305 | There was also a Ruth Fish, daughter of David & Jemima Fish of Portsmouth, who married Samson Shearman in 1761. Samson was a great grandson of Philip shearman, as was Benjamin. Most likely the two Ruths were related, also. | Fish, Ruth (I03268)
|
| 7306 | There were at least two Cornelius Seaburys born in Tiverton around the same time, and they were first cousins. One was born 7 April 1763, a son of Aaron & Abigail (Westgate) Seabury. The other Cornelius was born 2 May 1769, a son of Philip & Sarah Seabury. Based on his estimated date of birth as given in the RI Cemetery Database (1769) and also based on his being named in his grandfather's will (appearing to be among the five sons of Philip, listed together), I have made an assumption that he is a son of Philip & Sarah. These five sons of Philip & Sarah are also mentioned as grandsons in the will of Marcy Pearce, widow, of Tiverton; here they are identified as sons of Philip Seabury. This conclusion is confirmed by the marriage record: SEABURY Cornelius, of Philip and Sarah, and Mary Gray, of Col. Pardon and Mary; m. by Rev. John Briggs, March 16, 1714. From the RI Cemetery Database: SEABURY CORNELIUS 1769c - 1 SEP 1854 TV011 SEABURY MARY (GRAY) 1771c - 27 AUG 1847 TV011 There is no other Cornelius listed in the database for the earlier date of birth, which suggests that he may have died young or moved out-of-state. | Seabury, Cornelius (I23226)

| 7307 | There were several John Briggses among the early settlers of MA and RI. This one is known as John Briggs of Kingstowne or Quaker John. Some genealogists have confused these men of the same name. "John Briggs bought a lot in Westerly in 1661 and later participated in several land transactions in North Kingstown and East Greenwich. The first monthly meeting of The Society of Friends in Greenwich was held at his house and he was named as recording clerk." (source: article by John G. D'Alessandro, found on ancestry.com). On 12 July 1708, the Town Council of Kingstown granted letters of administration on the estate of John Briggs to his widow and his son John. The records of North Kingstown have been badly burned, but following is a copy of what remains of the probate record of John Briggs. The year is burned off but it is clearly 1708, for the record immediately following is dated (day burned off) Aug 1708: "The Towne Councell of Kingstowne has this Day gra[ ]ces Brigs widow & Relect to John Brigs of Kingstow[ ]John Brigs of Kingstowne Eldest Son of John Brigs[ ]ministration Joyntly vpon all ye Estate of John Br[ ]sband & your Honoured Father.

He is first of record in Kings Town (N. Kingstown) R I, in the year 1671, but in all probability was a resident there long before that date. On 20 May 1671 he became clerk of the military company, at the same time taking the oath of allegiance. On 1 January 1672, he and five others bought of Awashuwett, chief sachem of Quohesett, in Narragansett, a tract of land there. On 11 January 11 following, he purchased fifty-seven acres of Richard Smith for | Briggs, John Jr. (I07228)

|
| 7310 | These are Philip's second and third marriages; I haven't yet discovered who Philip's first wife was. The third marriage entry says he was widowed, she was divorced. In the 1880 Federal Census, Philip R. Johnson is living in Coventy, RI, with his four-year-old son, William R. Johnson. | Johnson, Philip Rhodes (I02242)
|
| 7311 | These birth records were found in the vault at the Bristol Town Hall, in Vol. 4, p. 249. I have a photocopy. According to "The Chaffee Genealogy" by William H. Chaffee, p. 276, Stephen & Deborah "were members first of the Episcopal and later of the Methodist Church. November 2, 1814, Stephen Chafee bought land of James Usher in Bristol, where he made his home. He was a country storekeeper and shipper of merchandise, and is said to have been eccentric in manner. He had a light complexion, blue eyes, and was five feet, four inches in height." James Usher was brother to Deborah. In the 1850 Federal Census, Stephen & Deborah Chafee are both aged 60, living in Bristol, RI. Son Cyril, aged 20, is with them. They are next door to sons Zechariah & Thomas and their families. In the 1860 Federal Census, Stephen & Deborah Chafee are both aged 70, still living at Bristol, RI. | CHAFEE, Stephen Jr. (I00245)
